RING AND PLATE THEREFOR.

Application filed January 29, 1921.

T 0 @ZZ w 710m t may concern Be it known that I, RUBIN RosnN'rHAL, acitizen ot the United States, and a resident ot the city of New York,borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State ot New York, haveinvented a new and improved Ring and Plate rllheretor, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact` description.

This invention relates to jewelry and particularly to an arrangement ofring and ornamental plate forming a back ground for an ornamentassociated*therewith and has 'lor an object to provide an improvedconstruction and arrangement of the ring` and plate whereby the platemay be readily removed without injury thereto or to the ring and adifferently ornamented backing substituted.

Another object in view is to provide a ring with a depression torreceiving' an enameled plate and ornament, the entire arrangement beingso constructed as to properly tit `together and present a stud adaptedto be secured to the ring body in a manner to be readily removed so thata dili'erent ornament may be supplied without injuring the enamel.

ln the accompanying drawing- Figure l is a top plan view of the ring andplate embodyingl the invention.

Figure 2 is a section through YFigure l on line 2-2.

Figure 8 is a perspective view ot the plate shown in Figure l.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numeral, l indicates the ringbody which is provided with an enlargement 2 in which is formed a recessor seat 3 adapted to receive the thin plate fl. This plate is providedwith a coating` of enamel 5 on one face though if desired some othermaterial could he used as coating. This plate 'forms a back ground andis provided with an aperture 6 through which the stem 7 projects, saidstem being preferably a part ci the ornament 8 adapted to lit tlatwiseagainst the enamel 5. The stem 7 may be held in place by riveting asshown in Figure 2. Preferably, riveting is used as too much heat wouldinjure the enamel 5.

The enameled plate owing to its size and Specification of LettersPatent.

thickness, being very thin and the enameling being inexpensive, theplates can be made very cheap and kept in stock in differently coloredenamel.

n case someone should desire to purchase the ring as shown in Figure l.but should desire some other emblem or other ornamentation the jewelercould readily torce the stem 'T out ot the position shown in Figure 2and consequently, remove the ornament and plate l without injuring theemblem or enameled plate or both or the enamel A new ornament could beprovided and tastened in place without injury to the enamel Heretotore,it has been necessary to secure the ornament in place by soldering or bysome other means and destroy the enamel 5. New enamel must be appliedand baked before the job has been completed. This takes a comparativelylongv time and is expensive whereas hy providing a removable ornamentand a removable plate a new ornament may be supplied at any time without"ijury to the ornament or to the plate and also a plate having adifferent colored enamel may be supplied. y

lVhen it is desired to remove applicant-s emblem, the upset or rivetedpart ot the stem T is cut away, or it desired, the stem may be bodilypushed through the opening in the ring. As the parts are very small thismay be done especially as the gold is comparatively soft. The ornament 8is pressing` against the enamel but is not secured thereto so that soonas the stem 7 has been released the ornament will easily move with thestem.

that I claim is z* A ring of the character described, comprising a bodyhaving a recess in its iace and au opening in the center of the bottomot the recess` a thin metallic plate coated on one tace with enamel andhaving a central opening, said plate removably littingv in the recessand the body, and an ornament itting on the enamel plate and having astem projecting through the openings ot the plate and the body andriveted on the inner 'tace of said body.
